Super Simple Pipe Cleaner Flower Bouquet For Kids

Pipe cleaner flower bouquets are sweet and simple enough for the kids to make and a perfect last minute project just before Shavuos! I have to spill the beans on this one though, these pipe cleaner flowers were not made with ordinary pipe cleaners but rather with something called "chenille sticks with bumps", which are long pipe cleaners with bulges. The bulged section is twisted to become one petal and one simply twists petals down the length of the pipe cleaner to form the flower. And while I used half of a chenille stick as the stem, I'd say go with ordinary green pipe cleaners for that. And of course these little flowers would look sweet with a button glued to the center and would be great napkin rings or even hair accessories for any summer party.
